Post-Rebellion
Rebellion is a powerful and beautiful time. We’ve shown the world our desire for change and we’ve brought new energy into our movement. Our new recruits need welcoming, yet we also need to rest.
This handbook is designed to help us do both. We can look after ourselves and each other, and also ensure that our new rebels are helped to find their way. The handbook is divided into three sections:
Looking Back, Right Now, and Looking Forward.
Each section represents a necessary post rebellion time to work through. Take as much time as you need for each of these stages, both individually and as a group. There is no need to move
on until you feel ready."
